For those who are broken hearted -- my testimony.

[SCJACK]

We tend to waste alot of time wondering and hoping to get our ex's back and while it is natural to feel that way the absolute best way to really get to the spot you NEED to be in is through NC...

 

Delete all social media and stop talking to them PERIOD disappear from the face of the earth and BE STILL-- one of the worst fears most of us have is the thought of them being with another guy or girl and just imagining that thought hurts alot but actually seeing that happen through social media or other means would destroy most of you and I'm pretty sure we want to avoid that. Sure curiosity gets the best of us to know the truth but it's not going to help you knowing anything about that persons life, I guarantee it will hurt you. Even seeing a picture from them, even having a breadcrumb will hurt you. Do not fool yourself with hopes... you need to realize the reality of it. Any form of contact will bring you back a few steps and delay your healing. GO NO CONTACT NO MATTER WHAT.

 

We need to realize that things happen for a reason, stop blaming yourself for what happened, it is out of your control-- and if it really was your fault, learn from it and apply it to your next relationship. We need to realize that the higher power either allows things to happen or made it happen. We live in a free will world, if someone decides they dont' want to be with you, destiny will not force it's way back to get you together.. even if that is what destiny wanted for you...that door is closed because the other person didn't see it for you two. There may be signs and tugs telling that person they made a mistake but at the end of the day it's their choice. There will be more opportunities and more doors opened. I think letting go is one of the hardest things, especially since we can't see what's ahead of us, but holding on is doing no good and it may be delaying what destiny has in store for you next. The higher power ALWAYS has something better for you but in order to get that we must let go.. it's incredibly hard to do so without seeing what's in front of us.. but have faith and hold out for the right person. You don't want to meet the right person and be broken up a few more times before meeting them. (That wouldn't be very attractive).

 

Stop having sex, stop finding the one, and BECOME the one. Many of you don't realize this but most of us don't know the difference between "love" and "infatuation" Love comes slow..it takes time to really love someone. Having sex with someone bonds you together with the person emotionally and is one of the main sources of why relationships fail because sex displays commitment. I can almost guarantee that both of you aren't on the same page as the other.. sex ruins relationships whether you realize it or not and ends in so much more pain. You might think it's helping your relationship grow, but it's really not. Don't be deceived. It also causes problems into your future relationships or even to marriage. Everytime you have sex with a different partner, you are giving a part of yourself away and each time your capacity to love is diminished for the last person you end up with. I won't go into detail, but basically stop having sex, you are hurting yourself spiritually and emotionally for temporary physical pleasure. If someone really loved you, they would wait until after marriage and that also builds a strong trust in a relationship. Take the time by yourself to be independent and learn about yourself, you are not worthless, you were beautifully created with many talents even though you haven't realized it yet. In due time, destiny and higher power will bring that person you deserve. If you try and find someone on your own will, chances are you are settling for way less, even though you may think they are the "perfect" one for you it actually is not. Take time to reflect and focus on yourself and become the person you want to be.

 

It may suck now but believe me, life isn't meant to bring you pain. You are supposed to be happy and that's what destiny wants IF you let it happen not of your will but leave it to higher power. We are too focused on the little things in life but forget to look at the big picture of who we really are and want to become.

 

Many of you aren't religious but I say this from my experiences. After my breakup I was so depressed and I wanted to suicide (why live in a world with all this pain?) I prayed to God, that being Jesus Christ which at that time I didn't even believe in him (due to all the crap happening to me) but I wanted to believe, so I prayed as a last hope before ending my life (actually I told him to end it for me because I was too scared to do it myself lol) and about a month later, he showed me how much he loved me he revealed himself to me, he showed me how I am not worthless trash, and gave me a purpose and an outlook on my future. (and I was amazed at what he had in store for me like WOW and his promises started happening even now) I couldn't find this relief through friends or family. I've had prophetic things happen in my life since then and God did not just lend me a small sign of hope he completely changed who I am today within 24 hours of having supernatural experiences after opening my heart to his power. I am no longer depressed and will never be again, insecurity, fear, worry, anxiety.... all of that will I never experience again. God would not create us if he didn't love us and he loves ALL of you, so use your pain to come to God and ask him to show you how much you are worth to him, because I guarantee you that he will show you how much he loves you and I promise you it will be more than anybody on this earth is able to give you. I came to realize that no matter how flawed I am and no matter how many mistakes I did, he still loved me so much and poured out his love and mercy and grace on me when I finally came to him. I felt ashamed that I had ignored him all my life and went my own way to live my own life. Nobody had brought me to God, I had to find out on my own. I can only see a very bright future for me and a very successful and smart person. All of you are as well, God bless!

 

Edit: I know I said higher power will always have something better for you but I meant God knows and wants you to have the BEST and he will surprise you only if you allow him into your life and acknowledge him....you guys like surprises right? . I just didn't want to offend nobody.

I just wanted to say, thank you. I needed that inspiration today. I do believe in God and that He has a plan for me. After i broke up with my ex, God led me to different paths and different friends. I prayed for good things to happen in my life and he is pouring so many blessings into my life. I always go to God in all of my situations and pain, and i know he is walking me through it. He is always with me. God bless

[Daisy2013]

I have copied some of your text as well as your additional post and have emailed it to myself to keep on hand. Thank you again.

[SCJACK]

Thanks guys! I didn't realize how much of an impact my posts would be but I'm hoping it can bring some healing. You all have a bright future ahead and I just want to say that everything will be okay. I promise!

Can you tell us what things happened for you?

God really does truly have a plan for us "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

 

Continue to pray about those blessings because God wants to give us all of his abundant blessings as long as we are open to receive them. He will bring divine connections and people into your life who will encourage you. Keep on leaning onto him for all of your troubles and you will get through all of them.

 

I am someone who likes to be guaranteed things 100%, black or white, no grey, if there's any slightest chance that something might not be there, then I can't believe in it. That is how I looked at God for many years of my life wondering because there is always that 1% chance that I'm putting my hope in something that really isn't there and Oh my goodness!!! I was proven so wrong and all I had to do was reach out and ask him.

[Nascarfan]

Thank you for this. It really brightened my day.

[nlynnc]

That is awesome, thanks for sharing that and for encouraging me!!! thats exactly where I am at right now.

[SCJACK]

What a lovely post?

 

Can you tell us what things happened for you?

 

If I could tell of everything that happened to me in the past few months, it would turn into a book. The very basic level is that I prayed to a Christ (with little faith, but that's all it takes) in all of my desperation. and shortly after I encountered someone who just spoke to me out of no where about all of the things that I had been going through in the past few months, and that person knew of the things I had prayed about specifically that I had told nobody else about, for example... that person told me I asked God to suicide, and I didn't tell anybody those thoughts or prayers. That person had an answer to all of my prayers and spoke to me in a way which she knew me as if I had told her everything that I had been going through without me asking a single question, she just knew everything to the point, specific, not generalized and about things of my past. I didn't know that person too well, haven't seen her in 6 years. But I was somehow led to her. She spoke of prophetic things that would happen in my future and the great things God had for me if I held on to him. To be honest this experience freaked my out alot that I actually started crying within 30 seconds of her speaking to me because I was shocked at what I was hearing, nobody knew what I was going through at the time. and I'm not the kind to cry very easy. She spoke about some events that will happen in my near future, which I have noticed started happening in an obvious way, whether it be people I meet, or just dreams, or such, and about my future significant other if I am willing to wait. Of course there are many other details, but it's actually a tough subject to talk about for many so I don't want to scare anyone. You'd really have to live my life to understand the full impact of what happened to me.

 

I've ran through the scenarios in my mind on how this was possible. I thought "If God knows our thoughts and everything about our lives, then this is it" That's the only conclusion I came to, because she came to me in a way that she knew absolutely everything, and if God knows everything then I take it as that because she also told me within 5 seconds of stopping me from walking out the door and asked if she could say something to me and I said yes, what is it? then she said "God is using me now as a vessel to speak to you" and proceeded to tell me all these wonderful things and everything I've been going through just like if I was speaking to God personally. I took it as he had listened to me and was there the whole time. As my faith grew and I began walking with God these past months he has began to reveal himself more and more and I am in such amazement.

 

 

All I can say is wow, God is truly amazing and he surprised me in so many ways that I could not have ever imagined. He definitely does not want us to be broken hearted! He wants us to be happy! Sometimes it's a lesson for us to learn and grow and reflect on who we are.

[towardthefuture]

Awesome post!!

[SCJACK]

I can't edit my first post but just to clarify.. one of my points that may be misinterpreted

 

God will allow things to happen as a result of your own will. For example, your ex may not have been a part of his plan for you, but he allowed you to get into the relationship anyway because you wanted it and he will make the best out of that situation whatever the outcome is. What I mean is that he uses everything to our advantage to learn and grow from it whether it's part of his plan or not.

 

He also makes things happen (through meeting new people or new experiences or events in life and if we allow them to) this does not mean that he force you to split with your ex because it was not part of his plan or your destiny. He does things for your good and your benefit. He will never disappoint you. He loves us in a way where we have free will to do whatever we want but if we lean onto his plans and onto him instead of going about our own way and our own lifes to perceive things how we want them... he will give us the best for us and no less then the best, according to his will.

I love reading your replies. Everything you have to say is extremely inspiration. Like you said, there are a lot of things in life that we don't understand why they happen. But God places them there for a reason and allows us to come across certain people for a reason. again, thank you.

[bigtrouble]

Many of you don't realize this but most of us don't know the difference between "love" and "infatuation" Love comes slow..it takes time to really love someone. Having sex with someone bonds you together with the person emotionally and is one of the main sources of why relationships fail because sex displays commitment.

 

I agree on this one...

Great post by the way...

Very good insight...

[Ifonlyihadknown]

You relate to God being a "he"

If your a male like myself then this is all very well, God loves you unconditionally and if you let him into your life the healing can begin.

Kind of has a sexist view on it op don,t you think, what if God is a female? would your post still read the same?

 

If you let her (God) into your life she will love you more than anyone could ever love you on this planet.

 

 

Luckily I don,t believe God is either male or female. It,s just God, and God neither has a penis or a vagina.

[rollercoaster11]

That message is just what I needed. After searching for so many answers...that really touched me. I ranned from God so much because I wanted to solve my own problems. That's probably why my life is so messy. Im constantly looking for answers until your post. I know this will reach so many broken hearted people on here. Thank you so much. God Bless.

[Nascarfan]

I know this might sound silly to some, but I have a story to share.

 

Before I met my ex, when I was around 16, I really started to take my faith seriously. I started to read books on theology and philosophy and I did my best to come closer to God. When I was about 17 and a half, I prayed to God to send me a girlfriend because I really never had one. I wanted her to be a Christian also, and for us to experience everything together. A couple of months later, a Christian girl came into my life in highschool that was different from the other ones. She had an interest in me and I soon developed one in her and we got together. I knew that God had answered my prayers; he gave me just what I wanted. I couldn't thank him enough.

 

During our relationship, we went to church, read our Bible, and were excited for the life we planned to live with the Lord. Now, I'll be the first to admit that I made many mistakes in my Christian life during our relationship. Besides giving each other our virginity, I struggled with many issues including pornography, hate, and just an all around lack of love. Sometimes I felt close to God, and other times I felt as far as the east is to the west is with him. During the later half of our relationship, I really wanted to get back to that place I had been with God. This meant that I did my best to quit my pornography addiction, love others, and especially refrain from sexual activity with my now ex. However, my ex had issues with this. She wanted to do things so badly that I told her I couldn't do anymore. Sometimes I made the mistake of giving in, but other times I didn't. Whenever she tried to make advances, I would explain that it wasn't right, and that we should keep things non-sexual because we are Christians. She never had a response for this. She knew it wasn't right but quite frankly it seemed like she didn't care how I felt or how the Lord felt about it. I could see that during our relationship, that her true faith was fading. She claimed to be a Christian, but I knew that her heart was changing and my principles were an obstacle. After 2 years and four months together, she left me for someone else (I made a thread with more details on that).

 

So here I am two months later, and I've been doing everything I can to feel better. For awhile, I tried to use the Law of Attraction to make myself feel better and get what I want out of life, and although it promised great things, something was missing. I thought about going to God, but I was so focused on the Law of Attraction and the "universe" that there wasn't really any room for God.

 

During one of my down moments, before going to bed, I prayed to God. Crying, I asked him to please help me make something out of my life. To help me move on from this, and to live for Him, and be happy again. After a few days, expecting that God either didn't exist or didn't answer my prayer, I had some Chinese food and got a fortune cookie. The cookie read along the lines of "You will receive a letter of great importance any day now". I was pretty excited, even though it was only a fortune cookie. I expected this "letter", if it did exist, to be a letter from my ex saying how sorry she was, that she made a mistake, and wants me back. Sometimes, I wanted that to happen. So then, about a week or so later, I came across this post and was very inspired by it. It encouraged me to get back on really the only path that truly made me happy and comforted. So yesterday through today I started to rekindle my relationship with the Lord and it's been so helpful in allowing me to make sense of things. Today, my mother brought Chinese food and as I finished and grabbed the fortune cookie, I paused. I immediately thought of the message of the last fortune cookie, and I realized that I had received that letter yesterday. It was God leading me back to Him. I started to smile and a great joy came over me as I read the words "You are heading in the right direction".

 

I started to realize that God allowed my ex into my life because it was what I really wanted at the time. He showed me what it's like to romantically love someone, and that we were together to help each other grow and deal with the difficulties in our lives. Most importantly, He did what was necessary to bring me back to Him and showed me that I don't deserve a "Christian" girl that "loves" me but won't even respect my concerns for OUR faith. I feel like he separated us because he knows she's going on a path that goes against Him and that I was seeking a life to go with Him. It was incompatible. I know that this was God showing me that she wasn't the right person for me and that those were her true colors. I'm excited to see His plans for my life, and eventually meet the woman that I was truly meant to be with.

[FancyFace]

Thank you OP and to all those that have shared their story/testimony on this thread.

 

This thread feels like a love letter from our Heavenly Father calling for us to develop a relationship with Him, to trust in Him and His timing and to know that the desires of our heart will be fulfilled if we just show a little patience and practice a whole lot of faith.

 

Prior to this relationship, I had started to develop a relationship with God but along the way I veered off on paths that were not God's choosing. I can honestly say that entering into the relationship with my ex, I knew I had no business being there in the first place and I ended up paying for it dearly. I knew I could do better, I knew he was not God's best for me but I was so lonely and desperate. I had a void inside me that I was desperately trying to fill it and my ex seemed like the solution.

 

I don't even need to go into detail but I was lied to, cheated on, mistreated, emotionally abused, toyed with constantly and I became even lonelier and desperate as a result of it. The breakup was so devastating that I too prayed for God to take me in my sleep. Thank goodness he did not respond to that prayer lol.

 

Now I am in a good place knowing that no matter what happens, GOD's GOT ME. That He will turn my tragedies into triumphs, that I am beautifully made in His image and that I am worth more than all the rubies and pearls in the world.

 

To all those of you who are suffering the pain of a heartbreak, I pray for your healing, I pray for your release from the chains of pain and heartache and that going forward you will make better decisions that speak to your worth as a partner, friend, lover and child of God. It is always darkest before dawn but we can rest in the knowledge that the sun will always come back up again and again.

 

Thank you again OP. Sending everyone light and love.

You could think of God as not male or female. I think normally people just think of it as just God and don't get too deep into whether God is male or female. I mention "he" because in the Holy Bible it states God is the father so you would assume he is a male. Also Jesus Christ (his son but born of God) is male so when I mention he, it actually pertains to the holy trinity, God the father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. In no way was this post meant to be sexist, but you could take it however you'd like..

That's probably why my life is so messy. Im constantly looking for answers until your post. I know this will reach so many broken hearted people on here. Thank you so much. God Bless.

 

I ran from God as well for many years! Don't feel bad though God is very patient with us and has everlasting love.. I spent the majority of my life rejecting him out of my life and never spent a second to think about him and spent 1 year walking with him, yet he still displays his love in abundance. I realized that right after my break up, I was trying to find answers and searching constantly trying to solve my own problems... and let me tell you, I didn't find an answer, nor did I get relief or burdens removed from my shoulders, friends and family can only provide temporary relief and they grow tired of you after so long and you have to fake it to show them you're okay, Sleep didn't help having insomnia from thoughts and waking up with anxiety when reality hits, doing things that make me "happy" and keeping busy didn't get me anywhere either, I was suffering for months trying to find a way to end the pain and I went in circles before I gave up and went to God..... and that is when everything in my life changed.

 

There are many that will find other avenues for relief, like other relationships or whatever, but I think many would find that they are constantly hurting more and more and when one method doesn't work, they jump to another and it leads to pain and more pain... but there is still an empty void left behind... only God filled it in my case... I just feel whole... and that emptiness never came back.

 

I sure hope my post brings healing to many! God bless

 

Will reply to other posts later.. Sorry for late responses guys... busy at work.

I'm excited to see His plans for my life, and eventually meet the woman that I was truly meant to be with.

 

Just wanted to say that was a very nice post to read. I can easily say you tried harder to have a relationship with God than I ever had before, I'm proud of you! It's okay to make mistakes, we are human and the desires of the flesh is strong. That being said... we are forgiven when we sin no matter how many times and no matter how bad it was. Sin is fun but it's not good for us, and the effects of sin will hurt us (little do we know).. it's not easy to follow the path of the Lord.

 

Funny that you mention trying to quit pornography. I am just getting over that addiction as well recently and going strong... I was only able to stop that habit because of my love for God and through much prayer. I was a slave to it for many years and could not last more than a week without it. Prayer may seem useless at times or you may feel like God is not listen but I can assure you that he is always listening. Prayer is very powerful!

 

I've read through the books on law of attraction, ask and it's given, think and grow rich, all books speak of us being connected, think positively to get the things that you want and the world will move itself to your reality. And I too questioned the need for God if anyone can access such power in thought. We are co-creators and we have the image of God. Therefore, the way we think matters alot. Thought is also powerful. It is a possibility that God is behind that source through his grace and love for us. Imagine combining faith and prayer and trust in God with thinking positive.. that would have huge impact I'd assume!

 

When we really pour our hearts on him truthfully, he will reveal himself and the signs regarding the fortune cookies would be good examples of his signs. That is no coincidence! Stay strong and hold on to the Lord no matter what! He will never leave you nor forsake you. To be honest, I didn't want to mention my testimony while typing up my first post for the fear of what people may think with my experiences with God but I was prompted by the spirit to mention it. And I've seen some amazing responses! The joy you felt after reading the fortune cookie is the kind of joy that you will experience more of with God

 

You deserve the best and God wants to give you the best... all it takes is some faith.

 

Sin can destroy relationships. Sin will also hinder relationship with God. (pornography for example made me feel guilty and I didn't even want to face God to ask for forgiveness for the millionth time) I also found that it was hard to pray because I felt guilty or I would use my sin as an excuse to do it some more since I was drowning in it.

 

My opinion for your breakup is that maybe the devil was using her sin to amplify her desires and blind her from things of God like respecting you and your decision. It made her display selfishness in wanting her own desires instead of displaying love and compassion towards you. That desire was born from sin, and an absence of that desire could have resulted differently for your relationship.

 

 

Thank you OP and to all those that have shared their story/testimony on this thread.

 

This thread feels like a love letter from our Heavenly Father calling for us to develop a relationship with Him, to trust in Him and His timing and to know that the desires of our heart will be fulfilled if we just show a little patience and practice a whole lot of faith.

 

Prior to this relationship, I had started to develop a relationship with God but along the way I veered off on paths that were not God's choosing. I can honestly say that entering into the relationship with my ex, I knew I had no business being there in the first place and I ended up paying for it dearly. I knew I could do better, I knew he was not God's best for me but I was so lonely and desperate. I had a void inside me that I was desperately trying to fill it and my ex seemed like the solution.

 

I don't even need to go into detail but I was lied to, cheated on, mistreated, emotionally abused, toyed with constantly and I became even lonelier and desperate as a result of it. The breakup was so devastating that I too prayed for God to take me in my sleep. Thank goodness he did not respond to that prayer lol.

 

Now I am in a good place knowing that no matter what happens, GOD's GOT ME. That He will turn my tragedies into triumphs, that I am beautifully made in His image and that I am worth more than all the rubies and pearls in the world.

 

To all those of you who are suffering the pain of a heartbreak, I pray for your healing, I pray for your release from the chains of pain and heartache and that going forward you will make better decisions that speak to your worth as a partner, friend, lover and child of God. It is always darkest before dawn but we can rest in the knowledge that the sun will always come back up again and again.

 

Thank you again OP. Sending everyone light and love.

 

I pray that these messages help reach to many broken hearted so that they also experience true healing and be brought back to God or to God. I can honestly say it's the best thing that has ever happened to me. God always has perfect timing.

 

When we are on God's path sometimes we wander off, but he will give us little signs and nudges (we have to be aware even with the little things) so that we know that we are wandering off his path. In my earlier post I spoke about an empty void before reading your post. And I actually had an empty void with or without a partner, something was always missing and things of life were never good enough. That resulted in me going around a mountain in circles which caused me to have more pain than I needed.

 

Haha, I prayed several times for God to take me whether it be in my sleep or while I was driving. But instead of giving me death.. he gave me life! When I realized that he was actually there I felt so ashamed and guilt knowing that I asked him to take my life but he loved me so much anyways!

 

With God, you have victory already. God is always with you and that is where the empty void disappears, because you realize that he's always been here, he's always cared for you, he's always loved you unconditionally, and out of your loneliness and desperation he pours out his love to you. You are beautifully made, perfect, God did not make mistakes creating you and you are worth so so sooo much to him. I have felt God's presence several times (he promised me I would feel his presence) and the feeling is amazing... i've heard that God IS love. and when I felt that presence, every dark feeling disappeared and you just feel so much love, you feel safe and secure, and you just know that everything is okay.

 

God bless you all... you guys and gals are so beautiful Thanks for sharing your stories!

Good thing to pray, good thing to keep thinking about a higher power. I am a Muslim, faith definitely helped me through this aswel. Not going to say what happened or how it happened, because I don't want to tell nobody to go and become a Muslim or go and become a Christian or whatever.. Im just saying that a faith or a religion is a very good thing to have, not just in your hard time, but also in the good times. Keeps you humble, keeps you realising there is more than just this life on earth..
